Enermax Liqmax II 240 AIO Water Cooling Review

Couple of days ago we’ve reviewed Enermax Revolution SFX PSU which was great. Now is time on something else under the same logo – the Liqmax II 240 AIO water cooling. There are many AIO water cooling solutions on the market so I’m curious what Enermax brings to the table.

Reviewed AIO cooler is designed for up to 350W TDP. It’s much more heat than any processor in mass production is generating. We will test it on the Intel Kaby Lake platform with the i7 7700K processor.

Let’s check how much to offer has Enermax Liqmax II 240 AIO cooler.

The Enermax Liqmax II is the advanced version of the successful Liqmax liquid coolers line. The engineers from Enermax have improved the performance of the cooler and the operating noise is further reduced (Liqmax II 120 TDP 320W+ and Liqmax II 240 TDP 350W+) . This is mainly due to the optimized double-Batwing blade geometry and the smooth-running pump. With the Adjustable Peak Speed (APS) feature, the speed range of the fans can be selected and limited by an easily accessible switch on the side. There are three modes available: Silent (600-1,200 1 / min), Performance (600-1,700 1 / min), and Overclock (600-2,200 1 / min). The Liqmax II has been equipped with high-quality polyamide tubes, which, due to their flexibility, grant an easy installation. The liquid cooler is available in 120mm and 240mm radiator formats and has a mounting system for Intel® and AMD® processors including the current Intel® Haswell™- , Skylake™- and Kaby Lake™ -generations.

Fans

Double Batwing Fans
The new and innovative development of the popular Batwing blade design. Thanks to the advanced shape of the fan blades, the Double Batwing fans achieve an exceptional high air flow rate to enhance the cooling performance while reducing the noise generation.

Adjustable Peak Speed Function & Automatic PWM Control
Easy fan speed customisation according to the system requirements. With a small switch at the frame side, the peak speed can be changed in three steps. The fan therefore offers three various RPM ranges: Silent Mode / Performance Mode / Overclock Mode. Within the selected mode, the fan is controlled automatically via PWM.

Effective Fan Decoupling
The fan is equipped with rubber pads to reduce the vibration and noise generation.
